Tile repair for Lynesack homes

Tile repair in Lynesack without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lynesack as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Lynesack?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Lynesack: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Lynesack?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
